I don't see him married to Fleur either, and... dunno... he just seems too good for Rarity. As for their "age difference" I think Fancy only seems older because of his moustache and monocle. While he's older than Rarity, I don't think he's older than 35. Or 40 at most. But it's the same as RainbowXSoarin, they're idols to them, not crushes... At most, he's like a platonic crush to Rarity.

I honestly don't see him married to Fleur JUST because she stood next to him and clinged to him. As for Rarity, Fancy is like in his 30s or maybe 40s and Rarity is like in her 20s since Lauren Faust confimed the Mane Six are like kid-like adults but I can also picture Rarity 18 or 19 kind of.

But seriously, I may like a scant few ships, (This isn't one of them) but no skin off my back if others don't, unless they demand everyone else to follow their views, alone. (Not implying that this is what you're doing)

Heck, anyone demanding others only go with what they like, is kind of a pet peeve of mine. (Yes, including other shippers)

Agreed. Fancypants would be cheating, otherwise. Becuase how come people who like this ship act like Fleur doesn't exist?! I know, they just wanna ship what they want, but it's not like she didn't exist!
